What's concerning is that Apple, Google, Facebook and Spotify can (and will!) coordinate to silence voices they don't approve of. It literally doesn't matter what that voice is because the power differential of all of those companies working together vs. pretty much anything should scare us all.
I'm also 100% sure Alex Jones has a larger audience today than the day before the censorship began, so from that perspective it was even a failure.
- f23oij0932 8y agoIf Jones was truly silenced by Apple, Google, FB, and Spotify, how is it he also has a larger audience? Removing him from their list is a minor inconvenience, looks nothing like the worst acts of censorship in human history. You know how you can find Alex Jones: google.com, duckduckgo.com It was a superficial act. You seem to get that by labeling it a failure.
- malvosenior 8y agoI agree it was not effective, but it's still very concerning that these companies coordinated to do this. Not every action they coordinate on will come to light like this and thus may actually be somewhat effective (think actions against regular users).
